An organisation is only as avaliable as the people that makes it function.
I wonder what will happen if NO ONE signs up for employment with such organisations.
No doubt everyone needs to eat and family to feed, jobs hard to come by, but why at the expense of others' lives, when they either know or intentionally ignore such evil and unconstitutional issues being done to their fellow citizens?

Ron needs to run in 2012. I believe this will be the year of mass protests in our country as more and more people are waking up. Here is a video that has almost 9 million hits and growing. Maybe we the people will finally stand up this year. Thanks OP for this thread.

I often wonder if a police state does become reality, how the police that are ordered to basically turn against their own people will react. I mean they can't all be power bloated zombies...can they?
I'd like to think that they would realize that they would be the real terrorists in that situation.
A boy can dream i guess...

It is like both political party's took the worst things a gov does or will do as given to us in books like "1984" and "Atlas Shrugged". The willingly ignorant will easily subjugate themselves for food and shelter these books imply. Then the people assigned to look out for the population lose connection with what makes people tick as the reach for gold. Rather than regulate the thieves they regulated the marks and as long as the marks aren't willing to connect the dots, they get used and abused. Protections guaranteed all free people have been circumvented and eventually the rule of law will catch up with this bunch of would be kings. Let us hope this is accomplished with out a civil war.

I used to hope the democrats would repeal the patriot act. Now maybe the Tea party can force the republicans to? It will take far more numbers of new members of congress to get it done. Everyone that has been in power wants to stay in power. The patriot act helps them stay in power.

Always remember that you are living in a republic and a democracy at that. It is you that gave power to your elected legislators and got him there in the first place. He OWES you a living and not the other way around. Should he act against you, then you must get majority others and convince them why you are right and then collectively to either make him listen to you or get him impeached.
If you fail to act or refuse to act, and if he has his own agenda, it will be your lethargy that he is counting on to get his way or paid by others to do their bidding. The direction of the country and power is in your hands now
